I like hammers because I don't think there is one hammer that looks like crap. The ability to legally upswing any longsword/SA that is hitting the head is a plus too.

Bowguns. You don't see enough of 'em(in Tri).

Being a gunner myself, I feel like I'm a part of a dying breed. Almost everyone I meet on Tri asks me 'Are you seriously going to use a gun?'

I like it when people gun because it usually means the person who was going to LS and die 3 times will BG and die once.

Hey, you're not the last of the species yet. lol I haven't used my bowgun in awhile but I've recently dusted that thing off and I'm going to step back into the forefront as an evade gunner. Now it's just a matter of learning when to roll again.

I like only bowgun now.

Being able to lock a Deviljho in place for 2min via sleep/para and cap it in 2:30 sounds good to me.............

Plus there's the pierce set which is just inhumane............ so many staggers...

I love how people say the bowgun is the weakest for damage output and stuff, when if a competent gunner is using it, it becomes amazing.

Exactly. If the gunner knows the monster's weak points, and/or how to effectively use a specific shot, the gunner will be more useful than most blademasters.

Quad Gunners fighting giant deviljho, 5 mins

[Drako]

Beware my off-topicness

The video above could have been alot faster

Spoiler

I got that up to 2:07

A couple things wrong with that run

1. I didn't see a guy devoted to using status
2. No one was using adrenaline
3. Deviljho wasn't locked

For it to go really fast, there needs to be

1 Gunner with full Uragaan+ armor gemmed for Status Attack up and Speed Setup
Just need like a speed setup+10 Talisman

Gives you:

Recoil Down+3
Bombardier
Status Attack Up
Speed Setup
Defense up (S) Gem to (M) I guess if you want >>


3 gunners with the setup

Diablos Cap+
Diablos Vest+
Diablos Arms+
Barioth Coat+
Black Leather Pants

2 gunners should use Combo Plus+10 OO and one should use Speed Setup +10 OO, Gem in Pierce All up and Evasion+1, (Ditch the Evasion if you need to)

Gives you

Pierce All Up
Pierce Shot Boost
Element Attack Down
Combo Plus/Speed Setup
Evasion+1
Adrenaline+2

The 3 Pierce gunners need to get adrenaline as quick as possible. You can either

A) Eat HP+40 Def up Medium (Meat+Dairy), and let Deviljho hit you with a strong attack
Eat HP-30 Stamina - 50 (Seafood+Dairy I think) and use a LBB+ and Small barrel bomb

As soon as you hit adrenaline, just start unloading Pierce level 3. Once you run out, combine more (Small Bone Husk+Pin Tuna), have Pierce level 3 in your speed combos. For the one pierce gunner who has Speed Setup, whenever Deviljho is in a pitfall trap, place a shock trap on the right side of Deviljho's neck, be careful not to set it too close to him (More on this later)

For the Status Gunner, definitely practice locking on other monsters and Deviljho beforehand if you're not experienced. For those of you who don't know, locking is the process of using Traps and status effects (Paralysis and Sleep) to keep the monster in place. Your main goal is to paralyze the monster when its in a pitfall trap, once it gets out immediately place a shock trap under it. While it is in the shock, build up Paralysis, and paralyze in the pitfall again.

I can't really tell you how to do this, everyone has there own style. How I would do it is Sleep -> Pitfall, Paralysis -> Shock Trap -> Sleep -> Pitfall Trap, Paralysis -> Shock Trap -> Shock Trap, Capture

You should set a pitfall trap on Deviljho's leg before it wakes up. The reason for this is when Deviljho wakes up, it will step into the trap. Now, the only shock trap you are going to set is the very last. The reason the one pierce gunner was setting traps on Deviljho's neck, is because once Deviljho gets out of the pitfall, it will do a fake roar. As it does the fake roar, it will step into the shock trap. This gives you alot more time then if you were to set it. On the very last Shock (the one you set) it should be ready to capture.

This should give you really good times, just need to find good gunners (Especially the locker, this falls apart without a good one). This is by FAR the best way to farm timeworns in the game, and a great way to farm Deviljho parts, HR, money, and heavy armor spheres

Drako, quit being a showoff

Come at me broski

[Zunee27]

So I look for people around my HR to quest with, which means loads of people 1-30. What do I see? Hammer, SA, and Gunner. HR 70-100 seems to sport Hammer, Gunner, and LS. Both of these lists are in order of most to least. NEVER do I see SnS or Lance. Hardly any GS, and, when they're actually around, they suck so hard at using GS and usually have an Iron Sword upgrade.
